United Way has brought people and resources together to make the biggest impact on the lives of Grant County residents. Today, UWGC focuses on what matters most: Kids, Family, and Community. Through our many partnerships we provide a network of services that:
- help children and youth succeed
- help families, people with disabilities and seniors to be productive and independent
- help meet the basic and emergency needs of residents
To make this possible, United Way, an autonomous local non-profit organization, partners with numerous community groups and volunteers to address local issues through resources of time and money. Volunteers make the policy and funding decisions.
Through its fundraising, UWGC helps support 31 programs and initiatives carried out by 15 agency partners.
We adhere to a vision, mission and series of core values in everything we do. They are:
